From Publishers Weekly
Nursery-room valentines, these two small-format books may look identical, with heart-patterned endpapers and filmy, feel-good illustrations, but one is saccharine and the other sweet. Hugs only squeezes by, with predictable rhymes governing its coy verse: "Hugs are almost magic, / Hugs are fun to do. / Other people give you hugs, / You can give hugs, too." Fortunately, Kisses takes more liberties with its subjects (the weather "kisses" with sun on your cheek, snow on your tongue or a raindrop in your hand; a butterfly kiss is described). Rhyme schemes are also more fanciful. Accompanying a picture of Eskimos rubbing noses: "For Eskimos a kiss is THIS: / The reason, I suppose, is / Since they're dressed for blizzards, / They can only show their noses." Both books feature multiracial casts--the Hugs gang in variations on a blameless embrace, the Kisses crowd slightly more animated--but neither title is likely to break any hearts. Ages 3-6.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K-- These small books of verse feature loving thoughts about hugs and kisses, while soft watercolor-wash drawings depict happy scenes of children, pets, families, and friends in homes and suburban neighborhoods. Double-page spreads alternate with full-page scenes and small vignettes to create pleasingly varied layouts. Although the figures of rosy-cheeked children and adults are idealized, they represent a variety of ethnic groups. Gentle humor tempers the sweetness, e.g, "Some kisses are just wonderful/ And some are just all right" accompanies a picture of a grimacing toddler receiving a smooch from a bearded friend. Children will be drawn to the strong rhythms and the sentiments expressed in these cozy books. --Linda Wicher, Highland Park Public Library, IL
